Oblique is a collection of wall shelves that offer you a clever way to display your current reads or favorites. Designed by Filip Janssens, each of the three units features a notched out section to accent a book (or three), almost like it’s framed.

You can simply display it on the wall for books or install it beside your bed so it also acts as a bedside table. (via Design Milk)

Barcelona-based design duo Álvaro Goula and Pablo Figuera have designed the “Orwell Sofa”, a private urban fort. The “Orwell Sofa” is a cabin-like piece of furniture that can be utilised as a sofa, a daybed, a bed, or even a private cabin. It allows one to have a bit of intimacy within a larger environment. Like the idea of a childhood blanket fort, you can climb in, rest, and even shut out some light if you would like. (via Design Taxi) Love this.

Based in Paris, designer Benoit Malta has created a chair that only has two legs, which requires its user to sit in such a way that they would feel “bearable discomfort”. Like an exercise ball, the “Inactivité” chair forces the sitter to use various muscles to keep their balance, and in so doing, achieve better posture. Promoting a more active and healthy lifestyle, this chair would help you become more conscious of your body while you are semi-resting. (via Design Taxi)

Despite being made from cardboard and weighing under 15 pounds, Refold’s desk is sturdy enough to stand on. The standing desk is not only good for you, but folds so you can work anywhere. Sadly, it’s only shipping in New Zealand at the moment. (via The Awesomer)
